The House of Da Vinci 2 Direct Download
Become an apprentice of the famous Leonardo da Vinci. Solve handcrafted mechanical 3D puzzles and discover hidden secrets. Navigate through mesmerizing environments of the Italian Renaissance. Travel through time to influence your surroundings. ORIGINAL MECHANICAL PUZZLES Get your hands on hundreds of new objects, 3D puzzles and mechanical brain-twisters waiting to be unraveled. TIME TRAVEL Go back in time not only to reveal past mysteries and hidden objects – use unique Oculus Perpetua to shape the present in a significant way. NEW CONTROLS Navigate through mesmerizing locations even more intuitively. All game controls have been redesigned and optimized to feel as intuitive as it gets. VOICE NARRATED STORY A pleasure for all senses: the whole story is now fully narrated. The goose bumps are inevitable. MYSTERIOUS CUT SCENES Including the one showing Leonardo da Vinci’s creation of the famous The Last Supper. The main difference is the game mechanics have changed from the oculus temporis, where you could see hidden objects and watch reenactments of events, to the oculus perpetua where you physically travel back in time and alter things there to affect events in current time. The new oculus also behaves like the temporis by showing blueprints and revealing hidden clues.
There is still a handy hints system which will cut down your game time considerably if used but it will only give you pointers and not solutions. I was able to complete all puzzles without using too many hints. The puzzles vary in difficulty and length but they are all manageable and proved to be a challenging and rewarding experience. The story is performed much more professionally in this game with decent voice acting and graphical cut scenes. I was enjoying the story very much but then it seemed to bizarrely end with no conclusion and switched to another story. Another thing to note is that achievements are now mostly puzzle based although some rely on not using the Oculus so you’ll need to look them up before you start. Three of them depend on how quickly you finish the game which I don’t like. There is a chapter select option after you complete the game to get any achievements you missed but you’ll need to play the whole game again if you missed the time related achievements in your first run.
The House of Da Vinci 2 Pre-Installed:
The new element to the game is the time travelling oculus. Using your oculus, you can travel back to the same location in the past and alter events there which will filter through to present time when you return. For example, turning off water taps that have damaged a bridge in your time will mean that the bridge is no longer damaged and you can walk across it. There aren’t that many time travelling moments in the game but it will be needed on a few occasions. The oculus also serves to show you mechanisms inside the machines and reveal hidden letters, much alike the previous game. The puzzles are varied and interesting and I enjoyed these very much. What I didn’t like so much was finding the puzzle. Quite often you’ll possess an inventory item that you obtained from solving a previous puzzle and you are left wondering what do I do with this?
